In this embedding option, only the application form is embedded. This allow you to customize the entire page around the application form.
To do this:
- Go to Ashby admin to enable job board embedding.
- Add the Ashby script to your site, ensuring to pass version=2 as a query parameter
- Use the Ashby API to retrieve job posting data.
- Configure the __Ashby window object. (See example below)
- (If needed) Call __Ashby.iFrame().load to switch job postings.
- (Optional) Upload a custom css url to apply global styles to your embedded content.
- (Optional) Pass css url to style your application form per-application.
Example:
This example is rendered in an iframe in order to show the minimum needed to use this embedding option, without interference from the rest of the page. The full code of this minimum example is shown further down the page.
